I really liked the book. Although it was about Eglantine, and less about everyone else in the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, it was a nice change. Soren is the main character and most readers forget many other owls in the tree have lives. Eglantine is quite mean to Primrose and realizes that something is terribly wrong with herself as she has a weird dream telling her to go to the Beaks and find her mum. Poor Primrose is replaced with a corny owl named Ginger. This book is different and well worth reading and we get some new perspectives. Oh, and they have the pictures of Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, Digger, Ruby, Ginger, Primrose and Barran in the back and front of the book! I love the pictures!!!

The Shattering was my 4th favorite book in the whole seris. Kathryn Lasky is my favorite writer. After reading the shattering, Eglantine became one of my favorite charactors.

I have loved every single Gaurdians of GaHoole book, and if your like me you should love this book also. I highly recomend this book to anybody reading this review. Any ways the book is about mainly Eglantine. She gets a new friend named Ginger who was formerly a Pure One. Throughout the book Eglantine has nightmares. These nightmares tell her that her parents are still alive and living in The Beaks. To find out what happens order this book and read.

P.S. I can't wait until the seventh book comes out!

This book was about 20-30 pages shorter than the rest of them, and in my opinion, it really shows. It needed about three more chapters: One to better explain Nyra's motives in brainwashing Eglantine, one to give a better conclusion to the battle scene, and one more that focused on Soren. This would have rounded out the story. I didn't like how the book's focus abruptly switched from Eglantine's personal problems, to an earth-shaking battle, and finally to an ending that had nearly nothing to do with the rest of the book. Also, the plot itself was too flimsy, and felt like it would have done better as a part of Book Six rather than a standalone entry. I know I'm sounding pretty critical here, but I still liked it, and am going to continue reading this series. I hope that I will be able to give books six and seven five stars!

This is it. the fifth book: The Shattering. Shattering is more horrible for owls than blinking. It is the process of turning an owls gizzard and mind into stone by exposure to flecks. Meanwhile ever since The former Pure One Ginger enetered Primrose and Eglantine's hollow Eglantine has had nightmares and been acting very odd and leaving Primrose out without any guilt. you might her gizzard has died and she can't feel a thing. and even worse she's found Kludd's mate Nyra and then dissapeared! now it's up to The Chaw of Chaw's to rescue Eglantine but can even they accomplish that?

Look, i don't care what other people sya i realy love this book im on the 5th book rite now and i love the sireis. i thought the 1st book was amazing. I LOVE THESE BOOOOOOKS!!!!!!!!!!! Man one person said " it doesent matter if your a kid or adult everyone will like this book" well i agree with that person and i think people should read this book but these books are amazing and so far im enjoying the 5th. I think that learn ing more about Eglantine is is good because she was introduced in the 2nd book and we dont know what happend to Eglantine or whatever! its a nice change i think the auther did a great job with all these books. So i wanna say a few more things about the book,

1.Great for all ages

2.funny and exciting

3.no matter if its on Eglantine or SOREN, DIGGER, GYLFIE, or TWIGHLITE its a nice book.

4. last thing i wanna say is age, DONT MATTER read it any way great for learning about owls, there habbits, or whatever, great book!

NICE JOB:

Also im 14 and i love this book!!!!

This was the best book in the series yet! I learned a lot about owls. It was really creative and It should win an award. If you want to read a good book read it!

This was an amazing book. A new owl named Ginger (who really works for the pure ones) who is in Eglantine's hollow puts flecks (dangerous bits of iron that can destroy an owls mind and still there gizzard)in Eglantines bed, shattering her mind and stopping her gizzard. Many things happen because of this, including Eglantine slipping away regularly to mirror lakes.But Eglantine soon relizes what is happening, and tries to fix it. And Eglantines friend Primrose also relizes what is going on. All these events lead to a fight with Nyra, Metalbeak's(Kludd's) evil mate, followed by a full fledged battle between those who went looking when Eglantine and Primrose went missing, and a large Battallion Headed by Nyra's Elite forces.An amazing book, with really shows you to be careful who your friends are.

P.S.wether or not youv'e read the other books, if you don't understand what I said, reread.

I buy books for children in local schools.trying to let them to use there imagination. I loved the books,have read 8 so far,had trouble putting them down,can't wait to get the rest of them!! I'm sure if a child starts them they will love as much as I have.

i really liked this book i felt just like primrose in the story because my best friend was ignoring me because my friend made a new friend just like in the story the ending was so surprising i hope this review helped
